The Simple Pleasures of Motoring






Who needs a turbo or a supercharger? When it comes to natural aspiration, Porsche shows you how it's done, introducing their most powerful NA 911 yet; the 911 GT3 RS 4.0...


Straight to the specs & facts:
-4.0L, 6-cylinder boxer engine
-forged pistons
-titanium connecting rods and crankshaft
-500hp at 8250 rpm
-339 lb-ft of torque at 5750 rpm
-0-60mph in 3.8 secs
-193mph tops
-reaches 124 mph in less than 12 secs (neck-bending)
-6-speed manual gearbox
-7 mins 27 secs Nurburgring lap time
-$185,000
-600 limited production run

What a whopper. To the core. Impressive, naturally...

That's all worth writing at the moment, because the exams are coming around, and I have to study to be able to afford one of these someday...
